In general, children like to eat healthy. They love food such as fruit, yogurt, milk and muesli. But unfortunately the huge amount of chocolates and chips that you see and are offered everywhere often leads to long for these foods and the healthy foods they serve them rather reject.

But with a few simple tricks you can easily make your children eat healthy, sometimes even without you realizing it:

  1. hide the vegetables in food that your child loves
  2. Serve healthy foods with foods that your child loves to make it more attractive
  3. Serve dishes as your child tastes of
  4. make desserts, sweets and chips an additional treat for healthy food
  5. Let your children help with the preparation of the meal

    6. Trick No. 1: Hide the vegetables in foods that your child loves

      Finely chop
    • vegetables and put in a meat roast or meatballs. Your child will not even notice that it is there. Mushrooms and eggplants in particular can hardly be seen because they take up a color similar to the meat. You can also use this trick for your minced meat if you prepare a burger. Which child would reject a burger?
    • If your child likes milk and yogurt but eats no fruit, puree the fruit secretly and mix it into the yogurt. Tell your child that you just bought fruit yogurt. Or make a smoothie or milkshake. Perhaps add a little honey to make it sweeter and tasty.

    trick No. 2: Serve healthy foods with foods that your child loves to make it more attractive

      Serve
    • fruit or fruit puree with ice cream.
    • Pack fruit in your chocolate or vanilla cream.
    • Serve a small portion of vegetables that your child doesn't like, with other vegetables and fries.
    • Place different types of vegetables in your pasta tomato sauce.
    • pour a vegetable puree over the pasta or prepare a chutney that you can serve with the chips or crackers.

    Stark> Trick No. 3: Serve dishes as your child tastes

    • Maybe your child has no general problem with the food itself, but rather with the nature.
    • If your child doesn't like tomatoes, try tomato sauce, tomatoes from the can or tomato soup.
    • If he does not like a certain fruit, make a jelly and place it on his sandwich for breakfast or mix it as a snack in his yogurt.
    • Try steamed or furnished fruit instead of fresh fruit. Buy fruit cannons more in fruit juice than in syrup, since these products are not added to sugar.
    • Let your child's plate look interesting. For example, cut the fruit and arrange it as an image. Some butchers also sell special polonies for children in the form of a funny face or a teddy bear.

    trick No. 4: Make desserts, sweets and chips an additional treat for the healthy food

    • This strategy requires some determination from your side and can certainly lead to some tantrums, but should be quite effective after a while. Never give up! At some point your child will give up.
    • If your child rejects a certain healthy meal, tell him that it only gets dessert when it has ended his lunch.
    • chips and sweets are only given after eating the entire dinner.
    • just make sure not to overload your child's plate. In this case, you could punish him for not eating too much, which would certainly be wrong.

    Trick No. 5: Let your children help prepare the meal

    • children are much more willing to eat a meal if they have helped with the preparation.
    • give your child every task that can do it, how to peel fruit, cut vegetables, stir food, etc. The more you include it in the cooking process, the better.

    If you follow these five tricks, your child will finally eat some of the healthy foods. Focus on a food or a trick, and if your child accepts this food, go to the next. Your child has developed his eating habits over time and will only change them gradually.
